A conservation poster encouraging Americans to turn their culinary sights to the waters rather than the fields. The message implies that fish are self-sufficient, which means no feed has to be wasted in their upkeep and by indulging in an aquatic diet, Americans can leave more wheat and beef to be shipped overseas. Rawls 10, Theofiles 104, American p. 103, Borkan p. 62.
